Or an eastside Wild Onion Tied House? I've been disappointed too many times to get too excited about this, but it's nice to see something happening on the Austin side of town.

I don't think Petra Falafel in Forest Park has been mentioned in this thread. Went there for lunch on Monday. Food was standard, perfectly acceptable Middle Eastern food (nothing stood out). I recommend delivery or take-out; while the room is nice, the service was really aloof and generally uncomfortable.

I had a good visit on January 3rd the day after it opened. Food was pretty good!

The owner seemed friendly enough.

Soft shell crab sandwich at Carnivore today absolutely rocked. They price it at the cost of crab +$3 for a sandwich and fries, so the 2-crab model was a bit of a splurge but well worth it and about the same price as the Boston Fish version, but maybe slightly better.

Small Batch Barbecue in Forest Park opened today. By the time my family hit it, they were out of everything but the pulled pork (including all sides!). The pulled pork sandwich was fortunately pretty good, but I look forward to going back and getting to the, well, meat of the menu.
